A key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle is to master a few easy and versatile cooking methods that can be used with a variety of ingredients. Chicken and Brown Rice Skillet is a perfect, one-pot dish full of protein, fiber, vitamins and most importantly – flavor! The best part is that this recipe works well with whatever protein, rice and veggies you have on hand.

When it comes to healthy eating, the freezer is your friend. By keeping a well stocked freezer full of nutritious ready-to-use foods, you can be sure that a healthy and delicious meal is right around the corner – faster than you can order take out.

Enough talking, it’s time to SHOW you! Recently, my sister joined me in the kitchen to help me prepare a Chicken and Brown Rice Skillet. We use Alexia’s Harvest Sauté which combines fresh vegetables with sage-infused olive oil. As a twenty-something living on her own for the first time, my sister was eager and excited to learn how to make this one-pot meal. The complete recipe is listed below the video.

I bought a lot of chicken over the weekend (counting on it to make lots of healthy dinners over the coming two weeks). Love this tip ~ and will look for a bag of the Alexia Harvest Saute for a super quick dinner. Love the video!!! So fun.

I looove your video! Both of you are so pretty!
I will definitely be on the lookout for that Harvest Saute. We have chicken 2 to 3 times a week … it will be nice to add a bit of somethin’-somethin’ to it 😉

I’m wondering why the video calls for twice the amount of rice and broth as the written directions. I followed the directions and had way too much rice. Wasn’t able to watch the video until after. Next time I will use the 1 cup rice and 2 cups broth.

Hi Rita – First of all, please accept my apologies for the confusion on the rice. I have revised the recipe to reflect the video. Secondly, as long as you followed a 2 to 1 ratio (which it sounds like you did!) hopefully the rice was properly cooked. Please let me know if you have any other questions and again, I truly apologize for the confusion. Thank you so much for trying this recipe and please let me know if you see any other errors.

I missed this post back in January! I’m doing a little meal planning this morning, trying to find some easy stuff to put together this week. I don’t know if we have those Alexia products near me (based on Katie’s comment below) so I will improvise – this sounds delicious and totally versatile, and my kids will eat it! (WIN!)
Love the video and your sister!
